news live from moscow this is aussie with me hello and welcome to the program the state of global politics start beyond's of russia's foreign minister we speak exclusively to sergey lavrov on topics ranging from syria's bloody war to russia u.s. relations and the group is going to joins us now live from norm this follow you go so what exactly did the foreign minister have to say on the global developments that shapes the yeah. ah speaking about the most pressing issues are two thousand and twelve the russian foreign minister of course had to talk about the coffin in syria and syria love it off once again stressed that moscow is not on any side of this conflict he condemned the syrian afterwards for using proportional force but

at the same time russia's chief diplomat said it's unacceptable that the west is still failing to condemn the actions of some groups within the opposition force and take to the most extreme measures like kidnapping and even terrorism. it's absolutely unacceptable and this logic we all might lead us if we follow this logic might lead us to a very dangerous situation not only in the middle east but in other parts of the world. if partners and the west would start would begin to. want to qualify terrorist as. bed terrorist and acceptable terrorists. syria has also become much a stumbling block between russia and the united states at the u.n. security council but really it's far from the only issue which has been souring relations so like a law passed recently by american lawmakers which is aimed at sanctioning

a russian official suspected in the us of a human rights violations well according to the russian foreign minister president barack obama who had to sign the bill in the end was a hostage of the republican majority in congress which according to the foreign minister could have achieved the same sanctions by taking these cases to court instead of creating what he called this international performance. they believed that one of the achievements probably as the administration presented itself to voters for the last four years one of the achievements was the reset was the russian federation and they want to heat obama exactly. in this reset think. syria are awful also noted how difficult it is sometimes to deal with the united states when it comes to various international issues due to

the peculiarities of america's elop toral cycle. something to the issues with huge importance like the you know the israeli palestinian conflict and the need to settle it being kept was there just for years and years. because of the peculiarity of the american electoral cycles the mystical said the relations and the need to get reelected prevent the american administrations from doing some things which the rest of the world believe believes must be done. these are only a few issues touched upon by russia's foreign minister as he talked about the most important topics off two thousand and twelve exclusively to r.t. . this kind of reporting there live igor many thanks indeed for that update. and of course of the highlights from lover of exclusive interview later this hour

but for those of you who can't wait to check it out online it's already there for you at all to dot com. thank you not an emirates is said to be close to ordering some six to come but jets from the u.k. and may be getting a contingent of british troops to sweeten the deal but ish pm david cameron told soldiers that they may be headed to the gulf state as they pull out of afghanistan rise craves on tapi saying dealings with the emirates which is accused of mass torture of political dissidents sounds all the wrong messages a geopolitical analyst patrick tennyson says it's all about iran. the justification for this massive buildup in the middle east specially in the gulf states syria the west is basically blaming iran saying that because iran's pursuing nuclear ambitions well there's no proof of anything or weapons programs as such they're blaming iran for possible nuclear arms race in the region that's a quote from david cameron only days ago so the encirclement of iran is certainly

not a geopolitical you know number one priority and i think that they've achieved that militarily but you know the question is. is this going to be a real military standoff or we looking at it a cold war situation where we just posturing militarily geo politically looking for some bigger conflict down the road perhaps in a few years. meanwhile as washington miles more sanctions against iran israel is making it clear that it's ready and willing to strike but turnarounds chief ally in the region hezbollah has made it plain that the will take sides in case a war this account for reports now on the militant faction may have up it's only. a red line should be drawn right here the line beyond which lies war with iran netanyahu would like to be able to communicate to the world that the israelis are ready which he has to attack and that it will be done with the full

support of the united states threat whatever the case and the tap it all but guarantee of a rapid response from another nemesis of the jewish state as moammar. the lebanese shia paramilitary group has evolved from a ragtag militia to a military and political heavyweight it's part of the so-called axis of resistance against israel referring to the as lions between hezbollah hamas syria and iran and according to hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah both israel and the united states would suffer a retaliation to any strike against tehran but. the response would not be limited to the israeli entity u.s. military bases in the entire region will serve as targets. so if israel targets iran even by itself that. america will be held accountable for this

death. israel's november battle with gaza was seen as a test for a possible confrontation with iran israeli airstrikes rained on gaza in exchange came a barrage of long range mortars and rockets most were held by israel's anti-missile shield the fucker for a rocket threat from gaza the war may have showcased newly acquired weapons by palestinian militant factions but hezbollah's arsenal is thought to be of higher quality and quantity and experts say that it could launch four times as many markets per day as hamas the details of has stockpile are secret but the group's willingness to use it is not a show you know let be how israel was shaken by a few fragile five missiles which could be counted on the fingers of one's hand i want to be able to withstand the thousands of missiles that will land on television and elsewhere if it attacks the fellow.

who was israel and hezbollah came face to face was in two thousand and six since then. hizbullah has now it collated around forty five thousand missiles off various ranges. the it's run of all part of. the range goes beyond three hundred and now it's three hundred fifty kilometers which according to them at least they can reach the whole of. the south of the country this museum in the south of lebanon is designed to display has been proclaimed military prowess captured israeli tanks and weapons are meant to be a reminder of the danger has block imposed. this is the only has tunnel now open to visitors but a network of secret passageways just like this one stretches across lebanon they're used to move fighters and weapons across the country ensuring that has been lost and ready to strike at a moment's notice lucy catherine of r.t.e. southern lebanon for many of this time of year seems as this size of your wallet

thus dictates how much rest of fun you'll enjoy but while shops are reaping the benefits of a commercial boost elderly people in the u.k. surviving on their pensions are left priced out of christmas spirit point to point out the story. better watch. better not santa claus is coming to town and the shops are ready for that annual customer onslaught eighty two year old lady isn't in the festive spirit she's worried that she can't afford to be anything other than a scrooge this christmas. and let your. family is in the now. as you're well with your lie that. that order thing and now.

percent since last year a family bird setting you back a whopping fifty five pounds on your christmas cards an average pack of twelve costs ten percent more this holiday and with printer ink now pricier than champagne you can forget about making your own to save money besides postage doesn't come cheap now at thirty percent more this christmas first class post in every sense of the term that's not just the line that would risk missing out on a christmas promotion right now it's not sure why get fired up the festivities getting more and more commercial but it's very secret right to you it can actually afford to take a walk we've talked to many families about christmas time and it's something that they really struggle with a time when all the families are celebrating we've got rises in fuel prices we've got rises in food prices in the benefits and the support mechanisms that people

have got. that they've got is all being cut back it's going to be really really tough for people this christmas pension the lady isn't just worried about the plight of the elderly she knows she's far from alone and counting down to a down costs december twenty fifth you know where they've been going out but their way now and people without. a lot of people are a. bit. and with the bank of england's less than glad tidings of a triple dip recession on the cards struggling britons will be wishing for nothing short of a christmas miracle. see london. opposition cries fraud after referendum on a draft constitution and the results of the having is that to has been approved but many claim that could only be possible with mustn't. ask i mean.

what do you see when you look at the scroll perhaps you wonder what bright future she'll have or maybe feel sympathy for her because you see she's in a wheelchair but if you're t.s.a. agent then you see hard core terrorist skull finding a small amount of residue from explosives on the girl's hands she was detained for almost an hour and her tears for mercy did not move the inspectors to allow her mother to be with her as they took her away for further inspection so the t.s.a. agents can put two and two together and realize that people in wheelchairs get all sorts of random stuff on their hands because the wheels they push roll along the ground when will these endless tales of bizarre instance of the t.s.a. stop when will they stop worrying about girls in wheelchairs when will they stop

searching under a terminally ill woman's bandages and when will they actually catch a terrorist when you call security feels a lot more like ridiculous tyranny to me but that's just my opinion. today. these are the images the world. treats canada. showing corporations are rude. choose your language. calling me kevin oh if somebody else and i say still some. treatments but the consensus can't. change the opinions that you think are

a couple. choose the stories that imply life truth be access to your off to.

the world of. science technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. this is darcy coming to you live from moscow welcome bog president allegedly pearson is going to be looking to cement ties within the brig's group of fasting growing fastest growing economies as her visits india today and efforts that some see as a challenge to the established global pecking order defense and a tree of high tech portraits and billions of dollars in deals are all of the table today as legislation moves from minister manmohan singh of the fast reactor to

russian built nuclear power station and is also said to be launched soon marking a milestone a new delhi's biggest energy undertaking and let's get more on the state of relations between the e.u. with job political and william and dull where you are welcome to the program so with the west in the economic doldrums there are signs that the brics economies are slowing down too so how dangerous is that for the group would you say. well i think the the bric economies although that's a rather out of this a construct because of brazil's location far away but the eurasian economies are definitely realizing that the future and i said this for years now the economic future of eurasia including of russia as well as western europe by the way lies in closer economic cooperation throughout the regime down into the middle east northern africa and china and india are an essential part of that so the fact that

putin is going to india today i think is is very much part of his reorientation from from west toward eurasia believe mentioned several times since his presidency began and i think it's a natural partnership at this point given the history of russian india relations going back to the great game actually in the nineteenth century when russia was trying to doris crush it was trying to get a access to the sea through india and india was of course part of the british empire so it's a long history it during the cold war there were quite close relationships and military ties between india and russia yes but what about what are bobo about economic rivalry all of that breaks nations are looking to develop do you see competition causing french as right now. well china and russia both are are exporting weapons many of the chinese weapons or some of them anyway are

remakes of russian weapons that they bought several years earlier so in that sense there is a potential for conflict but i think the the new president in china's president see as made clear by his initial visit to moscow that the russian relationship is highest on his priority list and to confirm that our so i think there are ample and ways of cooperation we've got fucked ition between china and the russian and eurasian in india as well yes and also a string of disagreements have not relations lately l a times between present president and prime ministers saying really asked trying as they're being made out to be while that can only be tested over time. that we have to see what the policy changes are the new chinese leadership of those some indications are focusing on the internal economy. we think we will see out of necessity of course or drawing together of russia and china simply

because the challenges from the ballistic missile defense and solutions of the u.s. both against china and against russia last year. mean that they're both in the in the firing line of a potential. nuclear conflict with the united states and nato and that's there's no joke and that there's a here a trigger for war when miscalculation so yes as you say there are also serious political differences between some breaks members especially china and india so can the group really become a global powerhouse and with its own members divided well china and india that course who is quite a ways back. aka stand as one issue a conflict between them but. i think the reasons for cooperation are much stronger at this point than the reasons for conflict india is in kind of a you your position it's

a. potential for economic growth and norms problems of backwardness the caste system and so forth and the interest that if we compared with say china or russia but. the potentials are there and i think the synergies are there for the cooperation between china russia and the three three of the four bric nations need you know results at the moment geographical reasons. we have political analyst thank you very much indeed for your insight. egypt as to announce final results of the referendum on a new constitution after early tallies suggest it one majority approval in the final round of voting the draft hastily put together by the muslim brotherhood dominated creasy is seen by many as a sure way of cement an islamist power in the country the poll has been accompanied by a small train and rest across egypt with sporadic violence resulting in dozens of deaths

and injuries the country's opposition is accusing the muslim brotherhood of massive vote rigging and ahmed from the hour does through party believes there's no way the constitution could have passed a wise. this constitution and this referendum is a disgrace to a nation that far it's hard for its freedom and for its right it's a document that rips out all the for all the rights that we have turned to constitute a dictatorship and it has been taught by a referendum that was a massive massive rigging for the ballot boxes massive rigging for the voice of the people basically seen tens and hundreds of schools tens and hundreds of schools where the ballot boxes and the referendum process was taking place at a convenient time when when the voice. these were very all the polls so that the people were voting no the power was cut off the most the brother had to be asked

judges and employees and that's called shuts down the school over. in the front of the voters and the same with the ballot boxes not overseas for hours and hours we do not recognise any any results unless we see a proper investigation and a proper digging through these evidence that we've put and we receive a proper answer from from the high committee of the election. singer and the unrelenting conflict tearing it apart was one of the topics russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov touched upon. and we bring you his exclusive interview with . the stunning beauty of reindeer gracefully dancing across the arctic tundra more than just a scenic image it is

a way of life for some traditionally the nets people are nomadic reindeer herders and though in many ways they lead a simple and rustic life they are also highly skilled and organized in their tree. another week and will be preparing for the winter and living around their need for a response this summer depending on. the day we found this particularly camp they were settled near the coast of the ca to see here four families work together to manage nearly a thousand reindeer herding reindeer is not just a job for the people in fact they say it's a part of their entire culture heritage and way of life and back they say that they can use almost every single part of the reindeer to help them survive. a deer is a means of transportation. for the outside and. the life in the tundra is harsh and so before winter hits many of the children are

helicoptered to the center of the district and not even for boarding school. in the knesset students learn different languages utilize modern technologies through specialized grant programs and even more arts skills all within a protected environment the school was founded and named for. a scientist who wanted a better way of life for his people. even with the most progressive ideas and education many that say they don't want to trade the modern life for their beloved. i have returned to the tundra and i actually like it here if you're outside there's fresh air fresh water looks at the site you can see deer it's a joyful sight. a sentiment that hopefully ensures that russia's northern reindeer will have caretakers for generations to come.

good laboratory was able to build on its most sophisticated robot which unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and . this is why you should care only on the.

role for russia's foreign minister thank you very much for being with r.t. today my pleasure now your ending your ear with a visit to india russia has been clear in its support for india's aspirations to become a permanent member of un security council how do you think the much criticized joint security council will benefit from and u.s. participation. first of all i would say that criticism is not always warrant that the latest wave of criticism was related to the fact that the security council allegedly cannot act on syria. by these by the desire to see some action on the part of the security council the critics want to pass

a resolution under chapter seven which provides for the use of sanctions and the use of force eventually and russia and china are convinced hundred percent that this would be a disaster and that this would be the beginning of a very slippery slope and will bring us to the libyans in the area which we cannot afford anymore and the region cannot afford the security council was once expended only in the category of nonpermanent members and now. after several decades of the council functioning in the unchanged composition there is a very strong movement towards expanding its membership to better reflect the. pluralism of the of the world community and we are strongly in favor of this we are convinced that the developing countries and the first of all the new economic and financial leaders.
